    Notes

    Sects & Violets with a Wraith! For if you want the info-overload and alignment-swapping chaos of S&V but fancy a mini switch-up. Three substitutions from the real S&V: The Wraith works really well here! The other three minions are all choosy minions who have a habit of accidentally getting under each other's feet, so giving the S&V suite a "team captain" can be really useful. The Wraith has a lot of crossover with the Evil Twin in terms of game-feel: they're both minions who might be outed as evil by a single good player, and who find it comparatively easy to go "off-bluff" in larger games. Wraith goes great with Fang Gu and Snake Charmer, too, as it can get its new evil team up to speed during the night phase, and it makes the usually-notoriously-difficult Dreamer bluff a little more viable. Wraith has "the Evil Twin problem" but worse in a Clockmaker game, as a spotted Wraith narrows the demon down to 2 seats rather than 4. Shugenja is similarly powerful, but should be less swingy for the evil team (and particularly for Vigormortes). No huge benefit for this one, just a sidegrade! Barber is technically the better fit as it has an on-paper synergy with the Pit-Hag, but I think the Hatter is fun too and it's a fairly harmless mix-up. You can use B3 tokens as substitutes, or it'll only take a second to grab tokens from the Carousel.

  2. Townsfolk

    Shugenja

    You start knowing if your closest evil player is clockwise or anti-clockwise. If equidistant, this info is arbitrary.

    これは夢。それも夢。すべ て夢です。

    "You start knowing if your closest evil player is clockwise or anti-clockwise. If equidistant, this info is arbitrary." The Shugenja trusts players to their left, or to their right. The closest evil player is the player with the smallest number of steps from the Shugenja to the evil player. If the evil players are ‘equidistant’, that means that the closest evil player clockwise is the same number of steps away from the Shugenja as the closest evil player anti-clockwise. If the evil players are equidistant, the storyteller gives ‘arbitrary’ information to the Shugenja. This means that the Storyteller chooses whether to tell the Shugenja that the closest evil player is clockwise or anti-clockwise. The Shugenja doesn’t know whether their information is arbitrary or not. The Shugenja does not learn how many steps away the evil player is. If a Shugenja is created mid-game, the Shugenja wakes that night to receive their information. The Storyteller communicates with the Shugenja by pointing a finger in the appropriate direction, but may use other methods if they wish.

    How to Run

    1. During the first night, wake the Shugenja. If the closest evil player is in a clockwise direction, point your finger horizontally in that direction. If the closest evil player is in an anti-clockwise direction, point your finger horizontally in that direction. If the two closest evil players are equidistant, point your finger horizontally in either direction. Put the Shugenja to sleep.

    Dreamer1-75

    매일 밤, 본인을 제외하고 플레이어를 1명 선택합니다. 그리고 선한 캐릭터와 악한 캐릭터를 각 1개씩 알게 됩니다. 그중 1개가 해당 플레이어의 캐릭터입니다.

  4. Townsfolk

    Snake Charmer

    Each night, choose an alive player: a chosen Demon swaps characters & alignments with you & is then poisoned.

    Effendi... I am but a humble man, but my pipe is golden and a single tune will tame the wildest djinn, Inshallah. They say that greed hangs more men than rope. But not I, Effendi... not I.

    "Each night, choose an alive player: a chosen Demon swaps characters & alignments with you & is then poisoned." The Snake Charmer learns player after player that is not the Demon... but becomes the Demon if they get either too greedy or too bold. Each night, they choose a player. If that player is not the Demon, nothing happens. If they are the Demon, the Snake Charmer becomes that Demon and turns evil, and the Demon becomes good and poisoned permanently. If the Philosopher has the Snake Charmer ability and becomes the Demon, the Demon becomes a poisoned Philosopher.

    How to Run

    1. Each night, wake the Snake Charmer. They point at any player.
    2. If that player is not the Demon, nothing happens. Put the Snake Charmer to sleep.
    3. If that player is the Demon, the old Snake Charmer changes into the new (evil) Demon, and the old Demon changes into the new (good) Snake Charmer—swap the Snake Charmer token and the Demon’s token. The new Snake Charmer is poisoned - mark them with the POISONED reminder. Wake the new Demon and show them the YOU ARE info token, a thumbs-down, the YOU ARE token, then the Demon’s token. (This shows they are now evil and the Demon.) Put the new Demon to sleep. Wake the new Snake Charmer and show them the YOU ARE info token, a thumbs-up, the YOU ARE info token, then the Snake Charmer token. (This shows they are now good and the Snake Charmer.) Put the new Snake Charmer to sleep.

    Examples & Notes

    • In the strange situation that the Snake Charmer is evil, or the Demon good, swap their alignments as appropriate.

  5. Townsfolk

    Mathematician

    Each night, you learn how many players’ abilities worked abnormally (since dawn) due to another character's ability.

    Any consistent formal system x, within which a certain amount of elementary arithmetic can be carried out is incomplete; that is, there are statements of the language of x which can neither be proved nor disproved in x. Ergo, you are drunk.

    "Each night, you learn how many players' abilities worked abnormally (since dawn) due to another character's ability." The Mathematician knows how many things have gone wrong since dawn today. When an ability does not work in the intended way due to another character's interference, the Mathematician will learn that it happened. They'll learn that something went wrong if a piece of information was false but was supposed to be true, or if an ability should have worked but didn't, due to another character. The Mathematician does not learn which players this happened to, only how many times it happened. The Mathematician does not detect their own ability failing. The Mathematician does not detect drunkenness or poisoning itself, but does detect when drunk or poisoned players' abilities did not work as intended. The Recluse registering as evil to the Chef, and the poisoned Soldier dying from the Imp's attack, would each be detected. The poisoned Empath getting true information would not.

    How to Run

    1. Each time a character's ability works abnormally due to another character's ability, mark them with an ABNORMAL reminder.
    2. Each night, wake the Mathematician. Show fingers (0, 1, 2, etc.) equaling the number of characters with ABNORMAL reminders. Put the Mathematician to sleep. Remove all ABNORMAL reminders.

  6. Townsfolk

    Flowergirl

    Each night*, you learn if a Demon voted today.

    Yesterday's violets have withered and died, but today my poppies bloom.

    "Each night*, you learn if a Demon voted today." The Flowergirl knows if the Demon voted or not. A Demon’s vote counts whether or not the nominee was executed. The Flowergirl does not detect if the Demon raised their hand for other reasons, such as when the players “vote” on what to order for dinner, or when the players raise their hand to exile a Traveller. If the Demon changes players after the original Demon voted but before the Flowergirl wakes to learn their information, the Flowergirl detects the original Demon. If there are two (or more!) Demons, even dead Demons, the Flowergirl detects if any of them voted. If even one Demon voted, the Flowergirl learns a “yes”.

    How to Run

    1. Each dawn, mark the Flowergirl with the DEMON NOT VOTED reminder, and remove the DEMON VOTED reminder, if any.
    2. Each day, if the Demon votes for any execution, replace the DEMON NOT VOTED reminder with the DEMON VOTED reminder.
    3. Each night except the first, wake the Flowergirl. If the Flowergirl is marked DEMON NOT VOTED, shake your head no. If the Flowergirl is marked DEMON VOTED, nod your head yes. Then, put the Flowergirl to sleep.

    Examples & Notes

    • If you forget whether the Demon voted or not, wake the Demon at night and ask by showing them the DID YOU VOTE TODAY? info token. They must answer honestly, then go to sleep.

  7. Townsfolk

    Town Crier

    Each night*, you learn if a Minion nominated today.

    Hear ye! Hear ye! Witchcraft in the labyrinth! Genius savant reveals all! Town in danger! Hear Ye!

    "Each night*, you learn if a Minion nominated today." The Town Crier knows when Minions nominate. Each night, the Town Crier learns either a “yes” or a “no”. They do not learn which players are Minions or how many Minions made nominations, just whether or not any Minions made nominations today.

    How to Run

    1. Each dawn, mark the Town Crier with the MINIONS NOT NOMINATED reminder, and remove the MINION NOMINATED reminder, if any.
    2. Each day, if any Minion makes a nomination, replace the MINIONS NOT NOMINATED reminder with the MINION NOMINATED reminder.
    3. Each night except the first, wake the Town Crier. If the Town Crier is marked MINIONS NOT NOMINATED, shake your head no. If the Town Crier is marked MINION NOMINATED, nod your head yes. Then, put the Town Crier to sleep. Remove the MINION NOMINATED reminder, if any.

    Examples & Notes

    • If you forget whether a Minion made a nomination or not, wake each Minion at night and ask by showing them the DID YOU NOMINATE TODAY? info token. They must answer honestly, then go to sleep.

  8. Townsfolk

    Oracle

    Each night*, you learn how many dead players are evil.

    Only the chosen may gaze beyond the veil. The dead are restless, and they point in silence toward the icy north.

    "Each night*, you learn how many dead players are evil." The Oracle knows how many dead players are evil. Because the Oracle acts after the Demon attacks each night, the Oracle’s info refers to the players that are dead when dawn breaks and all players open their eyes. The Oracle detects dead Minions and Demons, but also any other players that are evil, such as evil Travellers, or Townsfolk and Outsiders that have been turned evil. When counting the number of dead players, remember to count Townsfolk and Outsider tokens that are upside-down, which means their alignment is the opposite of what is printed.

    How to Run

    1. Each night except the first, wake the Oracle. Show fingers (0, 1, 2, etc.) equaling the number of dead evil players. Then, put the Oracle to sleep.

  9. Townsfolk

    Savant

    Each day, you may visit the Storyteller to learn 2 things in private: 1 is true & 1 is false.

    Seventy-two matchsticks on the floor... the sun sets early but the moon is unchanged... a torn piece of cloth... evil in the manor house... three by three... the one we trusted is not what he seems... green light means magnesium... residue, but the pattern is wrong... Seventy-two matchsticks on the floor...

    "Each day, you may visit the Storyteller to learn 2 things in private: 1 is true & 1 is false." The Savant gets crazy, amazing information that is different every day and every game, but exactly half of it is completely false. Each day, the Storyteller chooses two pieces of information to give the Savant... so get creative! One must be true, and one must be false, and the Savant won’t know which is which. It is up to the Savant to talk with the Storyteller, not the other way around. This isn’t a public conversation, and the group can’t listen in. It’s private. The Savant can choose to not visit the Storyteller if they wish. A drunk or poisoned Savant might get two pieces of true information or two pieces of false information.

    How to Run

    1. Once per day, if the Savant requests a private chat with you, take them away from the circle so you cannot be overheard. Whisper two pieces of information, one true and one false, to the Savant. (If you cannot think of two straight away, either take your time or ask them to come back in a few minutes.)

    Examples & Notes

    • Keep the information you give helpful and related to the game. Avoid saying who exactly the Demon is, or it could be a very short game. If you need help on choosing what to say, give information similar to what Townsfolk abilities would provide.

  10. Townsfolk

    Seamstress

    Once per game, at night, choose 2 players (not yourself): you learn if they are the same alignment.

    Did you hear that stranger in the cashmere coat put the word on our young Belle? And she said yes? Well, that's nothing compared to what Harry and that juggler got up to at the fair! The things I could say if I was a tattletale... my, yes.

    "Once per game, at night, choose 2 players (not yourself): you learn if they are the same alignment." The Seamstress learns whether 2 players are on the same team as each other. They only get this information once per game, so they had best choose wisely when and who. They may choose alive or dead players or even Travellers.

    How to Run

    1. Each night, wake the Seamstress. They either shake their head no or point at any two players except themself.
    2. If they shake their head no, nothing happens. Put the Seamstress to sleep.
    3. If they point at two players, either nod your head yes (to indicate these players have the same alignment) or shake your head no (to indicate these players do not have the same alignment). Put the Seamstress to sleep. The Seamstress loses their ability - mark them with the NO ABILITY reminder and remove their night token from the night sheet.

  11. Townsfolk

    Philosopher

    Once per game, at night, choose a good character: gain that ability. If this character is in play, they are drunk.

    If anything is real, beer is real. Drink, for tomorrow we may die.

    "Once per game, at night, choose a good character: gain that ability. If this character is in play, they are drunk." The Philosopher has no ability until they decide which character they want to emulate. They can do this once per game. When they do so, they gain that character’s ability. They do not become that character. They may want to wait a while to choose. If the Philosopher chooses a character that is already in play, the player of that character becomes drunk. If the Philosopher then dies or becomes drunk or poisoned, the player they are making drunk becomes sober again. If the Philosopher chose a character that was not in play at the time but is in play now, that character is drunk. If the Philosopher gains an ability that works at night, they wake when that character would wake. If this ability is used on the first night only, they use it tonight. If the Philosopher regains their ability via the Bone Collector, or uses their ability twice via the Barista, the Philosopher may choose a new ability, or the same ability as before. If the Philosopher’s ability works while dead, such as the Klutz’s, it works if the Philosopher is dead.

    How to Run

    1. Each night, wake the Philosopher. They either shake their head no or point at any Townsfolk icon or any Outsider icon on their character sheet. Put the Philosopher to sleep.
    2. If they pointed to an icon of a character not in play, swap the Philosopher token with the chosen character token and mark them with the IS THE PHILOSOPHER reminder.
    3. If they pointed to an icon of a character in play, the player of the chosen character becomes drunk - mark them with the DRUNK reminder. (You can now use the duplicated character’s reminders for the Philosopher). If the Philosopher dies, the player made drunk by the Philosopher becomes sober - remove the DRUNK reminder.

  12. Townsfolk

    Artist

    Once per game, during the day, privately ask the Storyteller any yes/no question.

    Mon Dieu! C'est lumineux! My work, she is... how you say... Magnifique! Dieu est révélé! Oui.

    "Once per game, during the day, privately ask the Storyteller any yes/no question." The Artist may ask any 1 question, and get an honest answer. The question may deal with anything at all, phrased in any way they want. The Storyteller honestly answers “yes,” “no,” or “I don’t know.” It is up to the Artist to talk with the Storyteller, not the other way around. This isn’t a public conversation, and the group can’t listen in. It’s private.

    How to Run

    1. During any day, the Artist can request a private chat with you. Take them away from the circle so you cannot be overheard. They will ask you a question. Whisper “Yes,” “No,” or “I don’t know,” to them, or if you cannot answer in one of these ways, prompt the Artist to ask again in a different way. The Artist loses their ability - mark them with the NO ABILITY reminder.

    Examples & Notes

    • Like the Savant, evil players bluffing as the Artist may request a private chat with you and pretend to ask a question. To help them bluff, you can pretend to give an answer by nodding or shaking your head.

  13. Townsfolk

    Juggler

    On your 1st day, publicly guess up to 5 players' characters. That night, you learn how many you got correct.

    For my next trick, as per request, I will need a flower, a bag of beans, a toy snake, a paintbrush, and a motorized gasoline-powered hedge trimming device. I warn you, this trick may be my last. Oh dear.

    "On your 1st day, publicly guess up to 5 players' characters. That night, you learn how many you got correct." The Juggler takes the risk of convincing people to reveal their characters on the 1st day, in the hope of guessing as many as possible that are telling the truth. On the first day, they may guess which players are which characters. That night, the Juggler learns how many guesses they got right...if they are not killed beforehand. They must make their guesses publicly, so everyone hears what is guessed. They may guess zero characters, or up to five characters, and these characters and players may be different or the same. If the Juggler made their guesses while drunk or poisoned, but is sober and healthy when their ability triggers that night, then the Storyteller still gives them true information.

    How to Run

    1. During the first day, if the Juggler declares that they are using their ability, then you enter the circle, holding the Grimoire. The Juggler can make up to five guesses, each of any one player and any one character. For each correct guess, mark the Juggler with a CORRECT reminder. (Make sure the players don’t see how many reminders you’re placing.)
    2. That night, wake the Juggler. Show them fingers (0, 1, 2, etc.) equaling the number of CORRECT reminders. Put the Juggler to sleep. Remove the CORRECT reminders and the Juggler’s night token when convenient.

    Examples & Notes

    • If the Juggler is guessing too fast, prompt them to slow down.
    • If an evil player is bluffing as the Juggler, it can help their bluff if you pretend to move tokens around the Grimoire as they make their fake guesses.

  14. Townsfolk

    Sage

    If the Demon kills you, you learn that it is 1 of 2 players.

    These mountainous tomes guard the secret, I am sure of it! Twixt word and word, it lies in wait. More candles, boy! More ink! These notes may look arcane, but the infernal puzzle is revealing itself.

    "If the Demon kills you, you learn that it is 1 of 2 players." The Sage knows nothing while alive, but learns the most important information of all at the moment of their death - who killed them. The Sage only gets this information when killed by a Demon attack. Being executed does not count.

    How to Run

    1. If the Sage was killed by the Demon, wake the Sage. Point at two players, one who is the Demon that killed the Sage. Put the Sage to sleep.

    Examples & Notes

    • If the Sage dies early, you will probably want to show the Sage two alive players, which lets the evil team still have a slim chance of winning. If the Sage dies on the final night, feel free to show one alive and one dead player.

  15. Outsider

    Mutant

    If you are “mad” about being an Outsider, you might be executed.

    I am not a freak! I am a human being! Have mercy!

    "If you are "mad" about being an Outsider, you might be executed." The Mutant is killed if they try to reveal who they are. “Madness” is a term that means “you are trying to convince the group of something.” So, if the Mutant player is mad about being the Mutant, this means they are trying to convince people that they are the Mutant. If they are mad about being an Outsider, this means they are trying to convince people that they are an Outsider. This can be by verbally hinting who they are, or by their silence when questioned. It is always up to the Storyteller to decide what the Mutant is doing. If you think they are trying to convince the group they are an Outsider in any way, you can execute them—even outside the nomination phase, or at night. If you do, no other executions may happen today by normal means, since there is only one execution per day. If the Mutant hints that they are the Mutant at night, you may execute them that night, even if an execution happened today. Declare they have died, and continue the night phase as normal. An execution may still happen the next day.

    How to Run

    1. At any time (even at night), if you believe that the Mutant is mad about being an Outsider, then you can decide to execute the Mutant. Declare this to the group. They die - mark them with a shroud.
    2. If you execute them during the day before the normal execution happens, go to the night phase. (There is a maximum of one execution per day.)

  16. Outsider

    Sweetheart

    When you die, 1 player is drunk from now on.

    I will never forget her. Never.

    "When you die, 1 player is drunk from now on." The Sweetheart, when they die, causes someone to be drunk for the rest of the game. The Storyteller chooses which player becomes drunk. This ability works while the Sweetheart is dead.

    How to Run

    1. If the Sweetheart dies, you choose any one player to become drunk - mark this player with the DRUNK reminder. The Sweetheart does not lose this ability when dead.

    Examples & Notes

    • You will almost always want to make a Townsfolk drunk, which will hurt the good team, but if evil is winning quite convincingly, you can make an Outsider, Minion, or even the Demon drunk.

  17. Outsider

    Hatter

    If you died today or tonight, the Minion & Demon players may choose new Minion & Demon characters to be.

    One Hat. Too Hat. Three Hat. Tea Hat. Fore Hat. Thrive Hat. Six Hat. Sticks Hat.

    "If you died today or tonight, the Minion & Demon players may choose new Minion & Demon characters to be." The Hatter allows the evil players to change characters. Each player with a Minion or Demon character may choose to become any character of the same type as their current character. They may choose not to change characters. If a player becomes a new character, they gain the new ability, even if it was a "you start knowing" ability or a once per game ability that had already been used. Once a player has changed character, their previous character ability has no further effect on the game. If a player dies then becomes the Hatter, the evil players do not change characters tonight. Once a character has been chosen, a second player cannot choose the same character. If it is already in play, the player with that character must choose a new character.

    How to Run

    1. If the Hatter dies, mark them with the TEA PARTY TONIGHT reminder.
    2. During that night, wake the Minions and Demon. Show them the THIS CHARACTER SELECTED YOU info token, then the Hatter token. Each player either shakes their head no or points to another character of the same type as their current character. If a second player would end up with the same character as another player, shake your head no and gesture for them to choose again. Put them to sleep. Remove the TEA PARTY TONIGHT reminder. Change each player to the character they chose.

    Examples & Notes

    • Optional rule: if the Hatter dies, allow the Demon to become a Minion, and a Minion to become a Demon. This may cause some chaos among the evil team as they try to communicate silently at night about who wants to be the Demon.

  18. Outsider

    Klutz

    When you learn that you died, publicly choose 1 alive player: if they are evil, your team loses.

    Oops.

    "When you learn that you died, publicly choose 1 alive player: if they are evil, your team loses." The Klutz might accidentally lose the game for their team, unless they are clever. When the Klutz dies, they must declare a player. They may take a few minutes to do so—after all, it’s a big decision, and other players may give advice on who to choose, but it is always the Klutz’s decision. If they choose an evil player, the game ends immediately and the good team loses. If they choose a good player, nothing happens and the game continues. It is not the Storyteller’s responsibility to prompt the Klutz to declare they are the Klutz and choose a player. The Klutz must do this shortly after they learn that they are dead. Deliberately not doing so is considered cheating.

    How to Run

    1. When the Klutz player is declared dead, they must declare that they are the Klutz and then point at any player. (Give them time.) If they choose an evil player, the game ends and the evil team wins. If they choose a good player, the game continues.
    2. In the strange situation where the Klutz is evil and chooses an evil player, then the game ends and the good team wins instead.

    Examples & Notes

    • If the Klutz player doesn’t realize that they must choose a player when they die, privately remind them. New players may not understand how their character works.

  19. Minion

    Wraith

    You may choose to open your eyes at night. You wake when other evil players do.

    Ra'āb ina pān ṣilli ša dāri. Rigim qallu ina šūri, šītu ša šunātīka iredde, u napšutka idlul ina pān maṣṣartī dāriti.

    "You may choose to open your eyes at night. You wake when other evil players do." The Wraith knows and shares what happens at night. The Wraith may open their eyes at any point during the night, for as long or as short a time as they wish. They may open their eyes fully, or just peek. The Storyteller wakes the Wraith when other evil players also wake, such as when the Demon kills a player, an evil Traveller uses their ability, or a Cult Leader learns that they are evil. When several players have their eyes open at once, they may communicate if they wish. If a good player catches the Wraith with their eyes open, there is no mechanical effect. A dead Wraith may not open their eyes at night. A drunk or poisoned Wraith is told by the Storyteller that they may not open their eyes that night.

    How to Run

    1. Each time you wake an evil player at night, first wake the Wraith. When you put that evil player to sleep, put the Wraith to sleep.
    2. If the Wraith loses their ability while alive, privately tell the Wraith that they may not choose to open their eyes tonight, and do not wake them when other evil players wake.

    Examples & Notes

    • Optional rule: Once per game, a player that is mad that you are the Wraith, dies.

  20. Minion

    Witch

    Each night, choose a player: if they nominate tomorrow, they die. If just 3 players live, you lose this ability.

    Three drops of goat's blood. A lock of hair, torn in anger. The name is spoken, the shadow cast. Walk left foot first down that brambled path, and don't look back.

    "Each night, choose a player: if they nominate tomorrow, they die. If just 3 players live, you lose this ability." The Witch curses players, so that they die if they nominate. Each night, the Witch chooses a player to curse. That player dies if they nominate any player on the next day, although their nomination still counts. The Witch’s curse lasts only for one day, but the Witch may curse the same player again and again each night. As soon as just three players are left alive, the Witch’s curse is immediately removed, and the Witch acts no more.

    How to Run

    1. Each night, wake the Witch. They point at any player. Put the Witch to sleep. Mark the chosen player with the CURSED reminder.
    2. The next day, if the player marked CURSED makes a nomination, immediately declare that they die. (Nominations continue as normal.)

  21. Minion

    Cerenovus

    Each night, choose a player & a good character: they are “mad” they are this character tomorrow, or might be executed.

    Reality is merely an opinion. Specifically, my opinion.

    "Each night, choose a player & a good character: they are "mad" they are this character tomorrow, or might be executed." The Cerenovus encourages players to pretend to be different characters than they actually are. The Cerenovus chooses Townsfolk or Outsiders that players are mad about being. They must try to convince the group that they actually are this character tomorrow, or else die. Simply hinting is not enough to avoid death. The player must make a decent effort to convince the group. Mad players are never literally forced to say things they don’t want to—but if the Storyteller doesn’t hear them make an effort, they pay the price. Mad evil players might be executed this way, but “might” means you can choose not to, to prevent evil from winning by this strategy. Like the Mutant, an execution penalty counts as the one execution allowed per day.

    How to Run

    1. Each night, wake the Cerenovus. They point at any player and at any Townsfolk or Outsider icon on their character sheet. Put the Cerenovus to sleep. Mark the chosen player with the MAD reminder. Wake this player, show them the THIS CHARACTER SELECTED YOU info token, then the Cerenovus token, then the character token of the character they are mad about being. Put that player to sleep.
    2. During the next day or night, if you feel that the mad player has not done their best to convince the group they are this character, you can decide to execute them. Declare this to the group. They die. If you execute them during the day before the normal execution happens, go to the night phase. (There is a maximum of one execution per day.)

  22. Minion

    Pit-Hag

    Each night*, choose a player & a character they become (if not in play). If a Demon is made, deaths tonight are arbitrary.

    Round about the cauldron go; In the poison'd entrails throw; Toad, that under cold stone; Days and nights has thirty-one; Sweated venom sleeping got; Boil thou first in the charmed pot.

    "Each night*, choose a player & a character they become (if not in play). If a Demon is made, deaths tonight are arbitrary." The Pit-Hag changes players into different characters. Each night, the Pit-Hag chooses a player and a character to turn that player into. They can’t create duplicate characters. If the character is already in play, nothing happens.

    How to Run

    1. Each night except the first, wake the Pit-Hag. They point at any player and any character icon on their character sheet. Put the Pit-Hag to sleep.
    2. If the chosen character is in play, nothing happens.
    3. If the chosen character is not in play, wake the chosen player. Show them the YOU ARE info token, then their new character token, then put them to sleep. Replace their old character token with the new character token. (You may need to turn character tokens upside-down to remind you that a player’s alignment is opposite to the color of the token. You may need to remind the player that their alignment is unchanged, by giving a thumbs-up or thumbs-down.)
    4. If a Demon is created, you may choose any players to kill or to protect throughout the night to balance the game. Additional deaths are considered attacks from the Pit-Hag.

    Examples & Notes

    • If the Pit-Hag changes a Demon into a new Demon, it is best to make no death occur tonight, so the good team gets a clue that the Demon has changed. You can even wake the Demon, see who they choose to attack, and decide that no one dies. If the Pit-Hag creates a new evil Demon, it is best to kill the old Demon and some other player, to signal to the good team that the Demon has changed. If the Pit-Hag creates a good Demon, it is best to kill either Demon (if it is the final night), or to just let two Demons run amok (if it is not the final night)—but since all Demons must die for good to win, use caution.

    Vigormortis

    Each night*, choose a player: they die. Minions you kill keep their ability & poison 1 Townsfolk neighbor. [-1 Outsider]

    All doors are one door. All keys are one key. All cups are one cup, but whosoever drinketh of the water that I give shall never thirst, but the water shall be in him a well springing up into everlasting life.

    "Each night*, choose a player: they die. Minions you kill keep their ability & poison 1 Townsfolk neighbor. [-1 Outsider]" The Vigormortis kills their own Minions, but those Minions keep their ability. Every time the Vigormortis kills a Minion, they die but keep their ability for as long as the Vigormortis remains alive. The Witch, Cerenovus, and Pit-Hag still act each night. Somewhat like the No Dashii, the dead Minion’s closest clockwise or closest counterclockwise Townsfolk becomes poisoned, even if they are dead. If the Vigormortis dies or otherwise loses their ability, then those players become healthy again. One Townsfolk per Minion will always be poisoned this way, as neighboring Outsiders, Minions, or Travellers are skipped. The Storyteller chooses which of the two Townsfolk is poisoned. All Minions killed by the Vigormortis keep their ability and poison a Townsfolk, not just the most recent. If a dead Minion becomes a non-Minion character, they no longer poison a Townsfolk and have no ability. If a dead Minion becomes drunk or poisoned, they lose their ability until they become sober and healthy again.

    How to Run

    1. While setting up the game, before putting the character tokens in the bag, remove one Outsider character token and add one Townsfolk character token. (If there are no Outsider tokens to remove, do not add a Townsfolk token.)
    2. Each night except the first, wake the Vigormortis. They point at any player. Put the Vigormortis to sleep. If the chosen player isn’t a Minion, that player dies - mark them with a DEAD reminder.
    3. If the chosen player is a Minion, that player dies - mark them with a DEAD reminder and a HAS ABILITY reminder. The closest clockwise or closest counterclockwise Townsfolk to the Minion becomes poisoned - mark them with a POISONED reminder.

  25. Demon

    No Dashii

    Each night*, choose a player: they die. Your 2 Townsfolk neighbors are poisoned.

    By the sins of Arnoch, I feel thy laden stench. By the curs-ed sun and her foul legion of tiny grinning gods, I corrupt thee. By the blessed night and the hidden depths of the horrid and unholy sea, I end thy squalid life upon this plane.

    "Each night*, choose a player: they die. Your 2 Townsfolk neighbors are poisoned." The No Dashii poisons their neighboring Townsfolk. The No Dashii’s closest clockwise and counterclockwise Townsfolk neighbors are poisoned, regardless of whether they are alive or dead. If a No Dashii dies or otherwise loses their ability, then those two players become healthy. Two Townsfolk players will always be poisoned this way, as neighboring Outsiders, Minions, or Travellers are skipped. If a new player becomes the No Dashii, or a poisoned Townsfolk changes into a non-Townsfolk character, the players who are poisoned may change immediately based on who the neighbors of the No Dashii are.

    How to Run

    1. While preparing the first night, the two Townsfolk neighboring the No Dashii become poisoned - mark them with POISONED reminders.
    2. If a Townsfolk poisoned by the No Dashii becomes a non-Townsfolk character, or the No Dashii turns into a different character, or if a new player becomes the No Dashii, the new neighbors of the No Dashii become poisoned, and the old neighbors become healthy - move the No Dashii’s POISONED reminders immediately if needed.
    3. Each night except the first, wake the No Dashii. They point at any player. That player dies - mark them with the DEAD reminder. Put the No Dashii to sleep.

  26. Demon

    Vortox

    Each night*, choose a player: they die. Townsfolk abilities yield false info. Each day, if no-one is executed, evil wins.

    Black is White. Right is Wrong. Left is Right. Up is Long. Down is Sight. Short is Blind. Follow me. Answers find.

    "Each night*, choose a player: they die. Townsfolk abilities yield false info. Each day, if no-one is executed, evil wins." The Vortox makes all information false. Anytime a Townsfolk player gets information from their ability, they get false information. Even if they are drunk or poisoned, it must be false. The Vortox does not affect information gained by other means, such as when the Storyteller explains the rules, or when a player’s character or alignment changes. When night falls, if nobody was executed today, evil wins. Exiling a Traveller does not count.

    How to Run

    1. While the Vortox is alive, you must give false information whenever a Townsfolk ability prompts you to give information.
    2. Each night except the first, wake the Vortox. They point at any player. That player dies - mark them with the DEAD reminder. Put the Vortox to sleep.
    3. Each dusk, if no player was executed today, the game ends and the evil team wins.

  27. Traveller

    Harlot

    Each night*, choose a living player: if they agree, you learn their character, but you both might die.

    Enchanté, Sailor. You look like you need someone to really listen to your troubles. I'm a good listener. Very, very good.

    "Each night*, choose a living player: if they agree, you learn their character, but you both might die." The Harlot learns the character of whoever agrees to reveal it, but at great risk for them both. Each night, the Harlot chooses a player. That player has a decision to make: do they reveal their character to the Harlot? If they do, the Storyteller may decide that both this player and the Harlot die tonight. The Harlot only learns the character of the chosen player, not that player’s alignment. The Harlot may discuss during the day which character they would like to pick at night, and other players may offer to be picked, but they may go back on their word and choose differently when night comes.

    How to Run

    1. Each night, wake the Harlot. The Harlot points at any player. Put the Harlot to sleep. Wake the chosen player, show them the THIS CHARACTER SELECTED YOU' info token, then the Harlot token. That player either nods their head yes or shakes their head no. Put that player to sleep.
    2. If they shook their head no, then nothing happens. Continue with the night phase.
    3. If they nodded their head yes, wake the Harlot and show them the chosen player’s character token. Put the Harlot to sleep. You may decide that both players die—mark them with DEAD reminders.

    Examples & Notes

    • When choosing whether to kill players, do what you feel is the most interesting and balanced. If the Demon reveals to the Harlot, you should not end the game by killing them.

  28. Traveller

    Barista

    Each night, until dusk, 1) a player becomes sober, healthy & gets true info, or 2) their ability works twice. They learn which.

    A cup of coffee with no cream, Monsieur? I’m terribly sorry, but we’re fresh out of cream — how about with no milk?

    "Each night, until dusk, 1) a player becomes sober, healthy & gets true info, or 2) their ability works twice. They learn which." The Barista either makes people sober & healthy, or allows them to act twice as much as normal. The Storyteller chooses which player the Barista affects each night, and which one of the two Barista abilities is in effect. The Barista does not know who or what the Storyteller chooses, but the affected player does. If the affected player is acting twice, then they do so at the normal time. If they would normally wake at night, they act, go to sleep, then wake to act again. If they have already used a “once per game” ability, they may use that ability again. If they have a “once per game” ability but have not used it yet, they may use it twice before dusk. If the Barista makes a player sober and healthy, their drunkenness and poisoning, if any, is removed, and they may not become drunk or poisoned until dusk. This player must get true information, even if a Vortox is in play.

    How to Run

    1. Each night, remove previous reminders then put the Barista’s SOBER AND HEALTHY reminder or their ACTS TWICE reminder by any character token. Wake that character’s player and show them the THIS CHARACTER SELECTED YOU info token, the Barista token, then one finger (to show they are sober and healthy) or two fingers (to show they act twice). Put that player to sleep.
    2. A player marked SOBER AND HEALTHY is sober and healthy (even if they’re also marked DRUNK or POISONED) and always gets true information (even if an ability would make them drunk or poisoned).
    3. A player marked ACTS TWICE acts twice at the appropriate time. (If the ability is optional, they may use it twice. If it is mandatory, they must use it twice.) Use the Barista’s ? reminders if needed, to substitute for the character’s own reminders.

    Examples & Notes

    • Some characters are better off knowing they are sober and healthy, as they gain no benefit from acting twice, such as the Flowergirl, Town Crier, or Oracle.
    • The Barista ensures players get true information even if an ability causes false information, such as a Fortune Teller, Spy, or Recluse.

  29. Traveller

    Butcher

    Each day, after the 1st execution, you may nominate again.

    It tastes like chicken. More please.

    "Each day, after the 1st execution, you may nominate again." The Butcher allows a second execution to occur per day. After the first executed player has died, the Butcher may nominate a second player for execution. The Butcher may nominate a player that has already been nominated today, and the Butcher may make a nomination even if the Butcher already made a nomination earlier today. If a player is executed, even if they do not die, then the Butcher may use their ability. The players may choose to vote or not to vote, so there is no guarantee that this extra nomination will cause an execution—it still needs to get enough votes—but this second nomination does not need to exceed the vote tally of the previous nominations. If no execution occurs today, then the Butcher may not use their ability at all today.

    How to Run

    1. Each day, immediately after a player is executed, the Butcher may nominate a player for execution. (Remind them if needed.) To succeed, this nomination must tally votes of at least half the alive players, as normal, but does not have to exceed the votes of the execution that prompted the Butcher ability. If this second execution succeeds, it does not allow the Butcher to nominate a third player.

  30. Traveller

    Bone Collector

    Once per game, at night*, choose a dead player: they regain their ability until dusk.

    I collect many things. Hair. Teeth. Clothes. Fragments of poems. The dreams of lost lovers. My secret arts are not for you to know but my fee is a mere pittance. Bring me the blood of a noblewoman who died of heartbreak under a full moon, and you shall have your answers.

    "Once per game, at night*, choose a dead player: they regain their ability until dusk." The Bone Collector temporarily gives dead players their ability back. The Bone Collector must choose a dead player. The chosen player remains dead, but they get their ability to use. If their ability was a “you start knowing” or a “once per game” ability—such as the Virgin, Slayer, Clockmaker, Seamstress, or Juggler—they may use it again, even if it was already used, until dusk falls. When the Bone Collector chooses a player, that player does not learn they were selected by the Bone Collector, although they find out soon enough when they are woken to use their ability. If the Bone Collector dies, that player no longer has the ability they regained due to the Bone Collector.

    How to Run

    1. Each night except the first, wake the Bone Collector. They either shake their head no or point at any dead player. Put the Bone Collector to sleep.
    2. If they pointed at a dead player, the chosen player regains their ability—mark their character token with the Bone Collector’s HAS ABILITY reminder. (They may need to be woken tonight to use their ability.) The Bone Collector loses their ability—mark them with their NO ABILITY reminder. The next dusk, the chosen player loses their ability—remove the HAS ABILITY reminder.
